Frank Fulker*on 157 The origin of the art and practice of land surveying is lost in the mists o antiquity but that it was one of the early professions there can be no reas­ onable doubt. A* population increas­ ed on the earth the very existence of the tribe of of the family depended upon the proprietorship of the land over which the men hunted or later eked out a pastoral living. The pas­ toral life more especially led to a divi­ sion of the available land among the families and individuals. Probably the medicine man or village sorcerer was the one who knew best the limits of area over which the tribe held sway and he may be the progenitor of the present day highly qualified land sur­ veyor. When the Dominion of Canada acquir­ ed from the Hudson’s Bay Company that great area known as Rupert’s Land, the survey and administration of it were early entrusted to the De­ partment of the Interior. By the Do­ minion Lands Act, provision was made for a Board of Examiners which was to examine into the qualifications and experience of candidates and to issue commissions as Dominion Land Surveyors. The Surveyor General of Dominion Lands, Department of the Interior, was to act as chairman of the board. In the Act it was provided that any duly qualified land surveyor in the then existing provinces of Can­ ada who registered was entitled to a commission as Dominion Land Sur­ veyor and many secured commissions in this manner. Since the date of the Act, 1872, however, many others have qualified before the Board of Exam­ iners. AU surveys of or affecting Dominion lands may be made only by those thus qualified. In each province, however, there arc lands over which the prov­ ince has jurisdiction and legal surveys affecting these land* may be made only by a duly qualified surveyor for that particular province. As the technical qualifications are very similar in the provinces of the Dominion, it is quite often the case that a Dominion Land Surveyor has also qualified to make survey* in one or more of the prov­ ince* and many of them have estab­ lished provincial practices. The list of Dominion Land Survey­ or*, past and present, carries the names of many distinguished Canadian*. Dr. E DeviUe, Dr. W. F. King. Dr. O. J. Klotz, were three outstanding men in the Civil Service of Canada. Other* still living hold honored positions in the federal and provincial services, with the Canadian Pacific and Cana­ dian National railways, and as univer­ sity professors, while those in business for themselves are scattered all over the country, not only in the profession of their early days but at lawyers, bankers, invesment brokers, and ex­ ecutive and administrative managers. To be a successful surveyor in a new country requires resourcefulness in A high degree and indomitable pluck, qualities which stand their possessors in good stead if they take up other vocations.

(Brantford Expositor) After prolonged negotiation and dis­ cussion the high council of the Salva­ tion Army assembled in London, Eng­ land, by an overwhelming vote of fifty- five to eight, adjudged General Bram­ well Booth unfit to continue in office. It is somewhat difficult for outsiders to criticize the action of the council, in view of the fact that the vote was so nearly unanimous. At the same time there will be profound sympathy for the commander-in-chief, who has been the head of the Army for sixteen year*. When the intimation was first con­ veyed to him that the high council wished him to retire, he declared that, after his active service of more than forty-eight years, it was a crushing blow. His father. General William Booth, continued to administer the affairs of the Army until he was well past eighty year* of age and died as commander­ in-chief. There will be a good deal of sympathy with his son and successor under the present circumstances. No evidence has been adduced to show that the administration of the Army has fuffered in any way by reason of General Bramwell Booth's illness. It has been carried on by hi» chief-of- staB under his orders, and it would appear to be the seemly thing to have allowed the General to retain his of­ fice and end his life as commander-in- I chief of the Army. How far the action Ine to personal ambition is hard that sin fell the angels," and again, "Let all th; ends be thy country’s and thy God’s." There will be sincere regret on the part of the public everywhere if, a* a result of the action of the high council, the Army is plunged into bitter litiga­ tion and controversy. Rather than this it would appear to have been better for the reform element to have waited for a while before it attempted to re­ organize the Army. The high council, in deposing General Booth and under­ taking to appoint a successor, has chal­ lenged him to defend his rights in the courts, which he will no doubt do with the utmost legal accumen and energy. It is an exceedingly regrettable rence, and one that will be lamented by the friends of the tion Army everywhere.

For 77 years there has been a judgeship of Brant County, and but two men have held it—Judge Stephen James Jones, who held it for 45 years, and Judge A. D. Hardy, the present occupant, who has been on the bench for 32 years. The second post is that of city treasurer. It was first held by James Wilkes, who, when Brantford was a town, in 1872, he'held it until 1894, having then reached 80 years of age. Perhaps more surprising is that he . continued active, and not until he had reached the ripe old age of 97 did he hear the Last Trumpet. He was suc­ceeded in the post by Arthur K. Bun­ nell in 1894, and he remains at his post, one of the most respected civic officials who ever held office in Brantford and one ranked very high in financial and accounting circles, as shown by his connection with the Cockshutt Plow Company and other financial concerns here.

YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEALTH series of authoritative articles on Eyes and their care. By w. Worth Davis, F.S.M.C. Optometri.t, —PERFECT EYES In this, the first article of our series, it is probably better that wc should have a clear understanding of all that goes to make perfect eyes. Your eyes and your health arc so closely interwoven that perfect eyes can only accompany perfect health, just as perfect health other words, your eyes affect your health, and your health will affect your eyes. The front part of the eye that we think of as blue or brown, grey or green .is really colorless and is called the Cornea. The color is slightly back of this, in the Iris. The Cornea must be clear and perfectly transparent. It usually is. but in some cases, from in­jury or disease, it is cloudy, prevents light getting into the eye and therefore prevents the action that we are pleased to cal) ’’seeing” or “vision.” The curve of the Cornea must be perfectly even al) around or we have the much talked of Astigmatism, about which wc will have more to say later. Just inside the Cornea is a thin clear liquid called the -Aqueous. This is very seldom a cause or scat of trouble ex­cept that occasionally it contains a few floating spots. Usually these arc a symptom of some other condition. Floating about midway in the Aque­ous we have the Iris. This is the first really interesting section of the eye with which wc have to deal. The color of this Iris gives us a key to the amount of pigment in the system. The darker the Iris the more “pigment” the sys­tem contains and the less iritation this eye will probably have from bright light. What appears to be a black spot in the centre of the Iris is really an opening through which the light pene­trates to the back of the eve. This is called the “pupil,” and if you watch closely a healthy eye. this pupil will open up wide in a dark or dimly light­ ed room and will close up to a very small spot in bright light. If this pupil docs not react to light as explained above or if both pupils do not open and dose equally, it is a sure sign of trouble or of approaching trouble. Consult your Optometrist without de­ Just back of the Aqueous and the Iris is suspended the Lens. Most peo­ ple thing of lenses only in their glasses, their camera or their telescope, but there is within the eye a lens also. In health this lens is beautifully clear. It is when this lens becomes clouded or completely opaque that we say you have a "Cataract.” So you sec a cataract is not a growth as most peo­ ple think of lenses only in their glasses, lens and in the Cataract Operation this lens is removed, making it necessary to have a very strong lens in your glasses to make up for the lens that has been removed. A cataract will very seldom form in a really healthy body, but is the result of faulty diet, poor health or cheap, poorly fitted glasses. All that you can do to prevent cataract is eat good reasonable food, avoid excesses of all kinds and visit your optometrist regularly. If you have any questions about your eves, they will he carefully answered if adressed to W. Worth Davis, F.S.M.C., Tillsonburg. (To be continued next week.)

And Maud was angry with hereelf that it had hap­ pened then—furious with herself for the color that rushed into her cheek*. It was to remove any impression th« the tell-tale rush of color might have made on Adam's mind that she had assumed the gay manner which made him call her hard name* to himself as he tramped over moor and mountain with the other men/gun in hand, or followed the hound* over pasture and plowed land, a stern set expression on There was a wood of elm* and yews and chestnuts close to the house at Beaudescrt. a wood with four long grassy rides jn it converging to a cen­ter where a graceful bronze Diana stood paised on its pedestal in an open space—in summer a sunny end­ing to each green leaf-shadowed vista. Even in winter the glades were shelt­ered, the crisp frost-stiffened gras* wa* pleasant to walk upon, and what­ever gleam of sunlight vouchsafed to gladden the chill afternoon seemed to "set the angry Dian's moon on flame," lingering about the space of turf at her feet, with its fallen chestnut burr* and melancholy swirl of last sum­mer’s hectic leave*.
